ABOUT THE COFFEE BREAK
UPDATE FEBRUARY 1, 2010
March 20, 2010 there will be our second "Coffee Break". We are teaming up with "Dear Thyroid" a thyroid literary site, for a meet up. It will be a "Coffee Break Co-Thyvent". Hopeful you all will get together with family and friends and have your own "Coffee Break Co-Thyvent" on this day. Let's let the world know we are here and we are not hiding our Thyroid Disease any more. We had 127 people have a coffee break in August of last year. We can beat that. We did that in 2 weeks. We have 48 days to set up a "Coffee Break

HOW IT ALL STATED
This website is for Graves' Disease patients, family and friends to unite in a Coffee Break for Graves' Disease. On Saturday August 22,2009, 127 people united for a "Coffee Break" at 10:00 am their time. The next Saturday more people joined the coffee break. The first coffee break for Graves' Disease had people from 13 states in the United States of America. People in Ireland, Australia, Canada and England also joined the coffee break. All this happened in a two week period.
So many have asked about the Graves' Disease Coffee Break, I have decided to start this website to share what people all over the world think about the coffee break. Please send us your pictures and stories about your coffee break for Graves' Disease. I will put them here to share.
I truly believe this is a positive thing for those of us with Graves' Disease. People who are alone have thanked me for starting the coffee break. They no longer feel alone because they know people all over the world are having coffee with them. Most of the people on this coffee break do have Graves' Disease, Thyroid Eye Disease or some other form of thyroid disease. There have also been family, friends, doctors and nurses that have joined the coffee break to give their support.
To join this coffee break you do NOT have to bike, run or even walk. Just sit and relax and enjoy a coffee break with us. How easy can that be. We all need a coffee break now and then. You can be alone with your coffee or invite someone to join you. Call someone , don't sit there alone. Write something on the forum and stay here with us if you like.

UPDATE
I will be updating this site as I come across things I think might be of interest to you. If you find something that you think we may find interesting, please email me and let me know. We all surf the net for information about the thyroid, Graves' Disease or TED. I would like this place to be a nice comfortable place to come and relax. There will be serious information here and there will be things just to make you smile. I think it is very important to smile and laugh. Some of us find that smiling and laughing is far to few. We can NOT let this disease rule our life. We only get one life to live. We may not be happy with what we are getting from it right now. That is not reason for us to give up and just let this disease control us. I am taking my life back and I am going to enjoy a nice peaceful cup of coffee and my Graves' Disease can just sit in the corner till I feel like acknowledging it is still there. Graves' Disease can just wait while I finish my coffee.
